Bright8

Sappi Europe has turned the story of sustainable papermaking into something you can play.   Arboro is a strategic board game where players manage forests, water and energy to become ‘Papermaker of the Month’—while working together to maintain the circular economy. It’s a hands-on way to explore how smart choices drive real impact, using FSC-certified paper stocks for every part of the game, from the board to the rulebook.   Bright8 supported the launch with targeted PR across Europe, securing coverage in Printweek, BoardGameGeek, Digital Printer, Graphische Revue, World of Print, WhatTheyThink, Paper First, Sustainable Printing News, and more.   A powerful example of how design, storytelling and sustainability can come together with results that speak for themselves.   #ArboroGame #SappiEurope #Bright8PR #PaperWithPurpose #StrategicStorytelling #SustainableDesign #CircularEconomy #BoardGameInnovation #PrintIndustry #PRResults
